Synopsis
Timo is a middle-aged, workaholic concert pianist who does not foresee any changes in life even after his wife left him. He is visited by his long-lost father, Leo who abandoned him and his mother 35 years ago. Completely the opposite, Leo is a lifelong rapscallion barely able to commit to anything. He pleads with Timo to take him to northern Finland and the father and son wind up on a wild ride in a stolen car with one unsettling revelation after another. At the end, the uncomfortable son is able to realize the roots of his stoic life and empathize with his father, a struggle common amongst many of us who strive to break away from the role model and influence of our parents.故事簡介
不熟的朋友別結伴同遊,更何況失散35年的父親!Timo的父親拋妻棄子,多年後突然出現,要求兒子帶他旅行。人到中年的Timo是「dry爆」鋼琴師,與妻兒分居,生活枯燥無味。父親則放浪不覊,無處為家。南轅北轍的父子駕着偷車上路,不按理出牌的父親固然令人氣結,哭笑不得;兒子為擺脫宿命和父親的陰影,一直壓抑本性,對父親既崇拜又鄙視,活得不快樂。公路上一對加起來將近百歲的父子展開一段浪蕩、互相重新認識的旅程。DIRECTOR
